1969 Map of Cliff

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Cliff sits at the base of a dramatic geological transition where the high plateau of the Book Cliffs drops away into the arid basin floor. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the critical infrastructure required to navigate and survive this eastern Utah environment, notably the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor. The rail line follows the level terrain west of the escarpment, providing a lifeline through a landscape defined by seasonal water management, as evidenced by Desert Reservoir No 2.
